The past week I have been having issues picking up Manchester TRS control channel from Toms River. Anyone else notice this, or do I have some troubles on my end?

I am having a hard time pulling in the CC with my attic-mounted antennas. Something is up, and I hope it isn't my antenna system. :(

It could possibly be,you should have no issues getting the system off the Manchester water tower site. I would try it without the attic antenna connected.

Tried it with a stock rubber duck, and nothing. This is weird, I was picking them up fine up to about a week or two ago.
Hmm, maybe time to move the antennas to the roof?

I can't get a lock on the control channel either. I used to get it no problem when I swing the yagi around that way.

Tried on multiple scanners connected to the same attic antenna, and a handheld with a rubber duck. This is very weird.
